I have been trying to make money online for years since 1997. So far in my journey i have seemed to srounge up 350 dollars in profits. Someone told me the only way to make money online is from porn. I started to dable in the webhosting world but quickly found out its over saturated. I was thinking about making a local personals website is that profitable unlike anything else online?

If you have made any money online please tell your story i would like to here them.

judging by the amount of businesses still around on the net - there is money to be made - but noone wants to give their credit card details out to a site which has no history... well most people anyway - there are always suckers out there...

Making money online is possible, but the problem you're probably facing is that you are competing against many other websites and the internet is pretty unforgiving if you're not in, say, the top 50 websites of your category. The top 5 will rake in thousands, but down at no. 50 you might still be struggling. So its a little like an exponential effect where 90% of the money made is going to the top 5 websites, and 1% of the money made is distributed at those below position 50 or so...

Gulp!

The only way I see people making money from the net is if they have something new and different, trying something that has been done before is a waste of time. Like porn for example, people think they can make money from it, but the internet it littered with the stuff so its a waste of time, try something different and original is the way to go!

I actually took part in making a few flash movies that became a big in in Japan I believe... I didn't get any money out of it but I hear the others who were in it for the cash made like 5 children's books and almost had a tv show over there, I wonder how they're doing now....

1) Come up with an idea for a site that will cost you less to drive traffic to than you make from it.(It can be done without porn)

2) Work dedicated and hard.

3) Don't give up.

I beleive this was easier a couple of years ago..but it's still possible.

Not at all....... I just saw a buy-out of a website from my work that went in the *up-teen* millions (a website mind you)......... All you got to do is start the right thing .... Add some traffic.... wait a few years.... SELL,SELL,SELL.... It is there but you got to do it right... Marketing is the key.. You got to start something that alot of people are interested in. I have my idea in which i am going to lanuch by the end of the summer! I hope that i do it right and can get something from it!

If anybody is interested you can make money with this deal on getting 10GB Ipods for $50 and selling them for $300.

It takes a good 3-4 hours to get an ipod for $50 but its well worth it.

Let me know if you want info on how to go about this.

There are a lot of ways of making money online, I personally think the biggest and fastest camp is PORN, although this is not the only way to subseed on you desire for money online.

- Advertising is another way to gain money, do you have a fancy webcite which is visited at least by 500 people a day? Well if you do by many companies and webcites will pay you for advertising their webcite or comp. at your cite. HOT AH??? just sit back and watch the money come.

- There are a lot of programs wich I;ve heard of but have no experience on it. For certain amount of $$$ you will get a domain and create you own store online, and the cool thing is that you don't have to have your own products to sell they'll just allow you to save their products at your own price and you'll get part of whatever is sold. I've seen people selling watches, wallets, glasses and all the kind of stuff you can think of. By spending 6-8 hours online a week some people have gained lot of $$$$.

3. If you are one of those smart guys who knows about programming.... well you can create a webcite and sell your own softwares.... Now you got to be real good cus people aint going to buy simple stuff that they could get for free in other places.

4. My last idea is the following. Many experts on the webdisign camp create webpages for companies, do you know some floor company that started by your street a couple of month ago? Well if you are smart you can stop by and talk to the owner. Tell them that you'll create a webcite for them where people can buy the products online, make appointments, etc. Let them know how this benefits their clients, a lot more people will stop by once they see the products on the net. If you get real proffessional on the webcite you could gain a lot of money. You could even tell them to pay you mensually for the updates. The fanny thing is that you could just download a good layout* and you wont have to worry about designing the cite your own. Be smart show them how's the cite going to look, tell them about others company's that have worked with you and have had good experiences even if its not true..... I bet some companies will be more than happy to have a webcite on the net.

I hope this helps you some..........remember there are 1000s of ways to make money online, go with the one you like!
